Drive shaft and Engine mounts - oh and shall i take the fuel pump?
Im doing a B18 conversion
i have a whole Volvo 480 turbo with 56000 on the clock
iv pulled the loom out with both ecu and ive removed the engine
DO i take the drive shafts - or are the GT turbo ones gona fit?
? at present ive loosened and removed the passenger side - so its out with
and dropped the roll pins on the other side
how much of the Volvo engine mounts do i need - i loosened them at the rubber round doughnuts to remove the engine - do i need the mount off the subframe too ?
can someone point me in the direction of pics of mounts in a B18 converted R5 bay
Do i need to take the fuel pump?
any idea where i can get a GTX engine mount
or a pic of one so i know what im looking for ,
(im prob going to modify the GT one for the min and then send it away to have one manufactured from it)
anything i should be taking in regards to hoses and extra bits?
thanks in advance
ps search didnt really come up with much in the way of answers to my questions!!

I cant help with the conversion questions im afraid, but regarding the gtx front engine mount I possibly can.
There was a guy on one of the facebook owners pages who made the mounting brackets to order for those doing either the b18ft or f7p/r conversions, if I remember rightly they were about 30quid each or something.
I will pm you the guys name and you can have a look for him

You can use the 5 gt driveshatfts mate, they will fit straight into the gearbox
As mentioned us a GTX front mount or redrill a C1J one, the 2 gearbox ones you can use normal 5 ones as the box casings are identical
I would fit a fuel injection fuel pump, something like a mk1 Golf GTI pump will do
